“From the moment we met Jenny and did the meet and greet we knew our fur baby Mazie would be well taken care of. Jenny watched Mazie for a week while we went out of state. Jenny is very good at communication and she sent pictures and updates on Mazie. We are already booking Jenny again for our next trip. I would highly recommend her.”


“Elizabeth and Nick were tremendously accommodating for our Annie and around a crazy weekend of travel. Annie loved her stay! Would certainly recommend and use Elizabeth and Nick again!”

About: I have been caring for other families animals since I was 10! I have always had a passion for all animals. We have had dogs in the home and outside since I was 5! I am also a huge advocate of rescues and experienced with all breeds! I work from home and I have a pretty flexible schedule. This allows for me to pet sit animals as on the side as a hobby and for extra income. I will handle your animals as if they were my own! Whatever your typical routine is, I will strive to do as well. To the best of my ability!

“Karyssa & Michael provided a 10/10 stay for Meijor! I needed someone on a last minute notice to watch him and they were there for me. Karyssa was very nice and accommodating! She gave Meijor plenty of attention and play time throughout the day. What I appreciated most Maryssa was the constant pictures and updates throughout Meijor’s stay. Whether it was after a walk or play time she kept us up to date on how he was doing. She really treated Meijor like her own! Will 100% be using them again and would recommend them to anyone!”

About: I have been blessed to grow up with cats and dogs my whole life. I love taking care of animals. I have a dog and 3 cats of my own. Animals bring joy and it’s important to find care that you can trust and will do what you ask because they are your animals. I’m happy to care for your pets the way you request. I believe animals are a part of the family and deserve to be treated with that kind of love, care, and respect. I’m currently working part time as a nurse while I care for my son and my own fur babies. I look forward to meeting more animals and sharing the love. I have a privacy fenced in back yard where our dog stays. I have 2 outdoor cats (used to my dog who come and go as they please) and 1 indoor cat. If you choose to board your dog with mine we would have a meet and greet beforehand to make sure it’s a great fit for your fur baby and mine
